Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar

The materials consumption required for this is quite substantial.

As for Fang Yu and Ding Hui, they’re both a bit in the middle between wealthy and not.

Sure, they’re kind of rich—there’s just those silver taels on them.

But to say they’re poor—they both have special skills and extraordinary abilities; whatever they do, they won’t be short of money.

For the materials consumption required for the experiment, they either have to work like crazy to earn money and fill financial gaps or, well, fleece the fat cats.

Clearly, the latter is a bit more cost-effective.

”Isn’t this... not so great?”

Fang Yu felt a bit embarrassed.

The Hai Family treated him well, and now when they’re about to leave, he wonders if it’s too much to take advantage of them.

Ding Hui was immediately displeased.

”What’s bad about it! It’s Lord Hai Lin himself who begged us to leave!”

”Besides, this isn’t really extortion—as you people from Blue Star call it, this is an investment!”

Ding Hui stood up straight, hands on her hips.

”As for the Qing Family, since we got back to the manor, they’ve sent several waves of people, all turned away after knocking on the door.”

”Also, the Zhou Family, Zhou Changqing personally visited with his niece, and you even specifically greeted him to reject the proposal of marrying a concubine. Now the Zhou Family is eager for you to make some requests to bind relations.”

”And those somewhat slow-reacting small and medium families—they’re offering money, begging for your attention!”

”They want to invest resources in us, so why not give them the opportunity? Moreover, although we’re planning to leave Sunset City, we aren’t gone yet! Staying here another day makes their investment useful! Even if we leave, who’s to say we won’t come back to Sunset City in the future...”

Fang Yu was speechless, realizing Ding Hui had learned her twisted logic well.

Anyway, Ding Hui was right about one thing: as long as they stay in Sunset City for a day, for those families, the investment is valuable. Even if the value period is short, it can have a significant impact.

Fang Yu now stands at the center of attention.

In the entire Sunset City, next to Lord Hai Lin, Fang Yu is the one with the most influence!

This isn’t about ranking of strength; it’s simply a ranking of influence.

The former represents the pinnacle of the current generation, while the latter represents the pinnacle of the next generation.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is clearly arranged.

And as Fang Yu carries this kind of identity, his every word and action have a huge impact on Sunset City.

At least before Fang Yu leaves Sunset City, this influence won’t diminish.

”Perhaps, we can make things clear.”

Fang Yu pondered aloud, considering making a transaction with those big families.

But what Ding Hui said next immediately silenced Fang Yu.

”Diao Deyi, when you want to play the good guy, can you first consider what situation you’re in? Is Diao Ruru going to be rescued or not? Is the Life Seed going to be extracted or not? Are people from big families short on money? Is it your turn to worry about them?”

”Yes, we’re not short on money, and we have ways to make money, but that all requires time and effort. If there’s no choice, of course, I’d be willing to support you financially while doing research.”

”But the situation is different now, why not take the shortcut? You know how valuable the demon materials for my experiments are, right? Some even have a price with no market, requiring me to add money to ask people to find them!”

”Is your time and mine so worthless? Or do you believe everything will stay the same and Diao Ruru will always stay in that state waiting for you to rescue her?”

”Can you think about us, think about...

Ding Hui’s voice suddenly lowered, her hand raised, pressing her palm against a small wound on Fang Yu’s chest.

”...yourself.”

Fang Yu didn’t expect Ding Hui to react this way, leaving him a bit stunned.

He vaguely felt there was some twisted logic in Ding Hui’s words.

But he had to admit, Ding Hui was correct.

At least Ding Hui was entirely prioritizing based on their actual situation.

Only in dealing with outsiders Ding Hui’s approach and ethics seemed somewhat cold and... flexible.

With a wry smile, Fang Yu said.

”Turns out we’re really short on money. In that case, we do need some people’s support to get by.”

”Hmph!”

Ding Hui snorted proudly, withdrew her hand, and turned her back to Fang Yu.

”As long as you understand, that’s it. Today, let’s call it here; you spent last night fighting in the wild, haven’t rested since returning to Sunset City, and accompanied me until now. I guess you’re tired too. Tomorrow we’ll continue; meanwhile, I’ll send out some news so that those families wanting to invest can come with the ’right’ things to invest in us.”

Only at this point did Fang Yu notice that Ding Hui had at some point withdrawn the Spiritual Particles, and her face showed visible fatigue.

Fang Yu’s body, as a Wood Realm Warrior, combined with his dual identities as a Demon Martial Artist and Believer, made his physique extraordinary.

But Ding Hui, despite having a partially transplanted demon body, was actually just average in strength, and this kind of high-intensity work ultimately wore her out.

”How about I handle sending the news?”

Fang Yu hesitated.

Ding Hui immediately spotted the concern in Fang Yu’s eyes, a slight smile tugging at the corner of her lips.

”What do you, a brute, know about such matters? Besides, some dealings can only be done by acquaintances.”

With that, Ding Hui pushed the door open and left, leaving Fang Yu alone in the room.

Fang Yu scratched his head.

Unknowingly, he had started to rely on Ding Hui to handle many matters.

The advantage of this was that he could focus on how to improve his strength. The downside was... He started not knowing the weight of daily responsibilities like food, firewood, oil, and salt.

No one understands the burdens until they bear them.

”Trouble! Troubles ahead!”

Just as Fang Yu was about to gather his thoughts, getting dressed in the shirt Ding Hui loosened for the experiment, a commotion could be heard faintly from outside the door.

Fang Yu frowned lightly and immediately pushed the door open to go outside.

This is the Hai Family! Who dares cause trouble here? Are they tired of living!

”Mr. Diao!”

”Mr. Diao!”

Times have changed.

Now in the Hai Family, everyone must respectfully address Fang Yu as Mr. Diao.

But Fang Yu wasn’t concerned about that; instead, he asked.

”What happened?”

”Mr. Diao, a group suddenly broke into the Hai Family and are steadily approaching!”

Oh?

Are they coming for me?

Fang Yu raised an eyebrow, quickly considering several possibilities.

Could it be demons seeking revenge?

Fang Yu felt this was most likely because in Sunset City, there shouldn’t be anyone daring to challenge him or the Hai Family.

”I’ll go check it out!”

With a movement, Fang Yu was already rushing toward the source of the commotion, and halfway there, he encountered someone.

”Coach Ma.”

Fang Yu greeted respectfully.

Behind Coach Ma, his team was detaining several people, all with power fluctuating at the thousand-blood level.

Compared to Coach Ma’s eight-thousand-blood, they were clearly lacking.

”Coach Ma, this is...”

Coach Ma glanced at the dazed and detained fellows behind him, coldly snorting.

”A bunch of youngsters who don’t know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth, daring to come to the Hai Family to jailbreak, and I took them down directly.”

Then, Coach Ma curiously asked: ”Why isn’t Diao Keqing resting in the room? Could it be these guys disturbed Diao Keqing? Rest assured, once I find out who’s behind them, I’ll eliminate them to apologize to Diao Keqing!”

Fang Yu hadn’t just rescued Demon Extermination Team from the wild but also brought back some of the Hai Family’s group, essentially their future elite youngsters.

This favor, anyone from Hai Family would acknowledge.

Coach Ma served the Hai Family, practically half a Hai Family member, naturally grateful to Fang Yu, and with both being Guest Elders, the bond grew stronger.

”A jailbreak?”

Fang Yu’s heart skipped a beat.

Could it be... Lei Shenhao?

If you talk about the inmate most desperate for survival, Lei Shenhao naturally tops the list.

And in the prison, the only one with the ability to pull some strings for a jailbreak is also Lei Shenhao.

Goodness.

He’s still trying to save himself! He’s still trying to save himself! Lei Shenhao, never gives up, truly moving!
